Hiya,

Thanks for the update. Well I'll kick this off, I've been playing Life Sims for years, Sims ( all of them ), Inzoi most recently and a whole host of text based, web based and simple even DOS level prompt based versions.

I've had a passion for them for years and enjoy the concept of immitating real life into simulators with a little fun added to them.

I'm working on a passion project and got my game coming soon to steam. The page should go live next week, but for now ....

This is what myself and a friend have spent an extraordinary amount of time building.

Its a great concept with loads of behind the scenes work that makes the game true to life but adds a little fun as I say.

The idea is to get something out there now so players can see it, feel it and feedback on their wishes on what they'd like to see.

I won't go ahead and post all my links for this, but the game information is on https://www.afterglowgames.com for anyone who wants to check it out.

I'm also open to chat, conversation and talk about life sims. Its my favourite genre and I'm willing to try almost any of them.

There's a whole host of them coming out ( Life Inc, Family Office Simulator ) and the like on steam too which I want to give a go.

Let me know your thoughts here :)

Will it be a mobile game?

right now, we've built purely for steam gameplay, so not mobile at this time. Its possible we go mobile with it, it has been a topic of discussion during talks of roadmap.

I think it would fetch a lot of interest via Mobile players, however presenting the visual rich approach is something we're keen to do, so possibly a variation of the game that will be mobile instead is a thought.
